Achievements
Throughout the course of this 8 month project, our project changed directions several times, saw people join and leave, and had its fair share of difficulties. By October, however, we were proud to review what we had accomplished and are extremely excited to be attending the iGEM Giant Jamboree in Boston this year. This project has seen the ASU team:
- Successfully construct and test 10 AHL Senders
- Submit 5 AHL Senders to the iGEM Registry and develop a modular sender cassette
- Improve characterization of several parts already located in the registry, including Bba_F2620
- Develop a safe disposal protocol for AHL molecules
- Write a white paper providing suggestions for AHL quorum sensing research
